[ANIME] Unaired High School DXD episode to be bundled with new light novel

Be prepared for even more ecchi scenes this December as a new leaked magazine scan from Fujimi Shobo’s Dragon Age magazine (no relationship to the RPG game Dragon Age Origins) shows an announcement on the upcoming High School DXD DX.2 light novel, which states the the book will be coming bundled along with an unaired episode of the High School DXD anime series.

Tentatively titled “Yomigaeranai Fushichou” (The Phoenix That Can’t Rise), this unaired episode will be released along with the High School DXD DX.2 light novel, written by series creator Ichiei Ishibumi, on 9 December 2015. When the High School DXD DX.1 light novel was released earlier this month, it also came with an unaired episode.

Though not much has been revealed about this unaired episode yet, its December release suggests that it will be related to the anime’s third season, High School DXD BorN, which will be airing this April 2015. High School DXD BorN is the third season of the ecchi anime based on Ichiei Ishibumi’s popular fantasy light novel series. It will pick up where the second season left off, which is when Xenovia joins Rias Gremory’s household as her newest Knight.

Its latest key visual image has already been released and it was also announced that the anime’s OP song will be performed by Chuocho.
